Have you ever felt a sudden, passing sensation of excitement, a shudder of emotion from an epic moment of a song, or a climax of a movie? That is what is called "frisson", a word rooted from the French word meaning "Goosebumps" or "Shiver". It has been linked to rises in dopamine levels which is, in turn, linked to your outlook towards others.

Frisson is a physical reaction, it's not just about "that hit me right in the feels." Unless you get a physical tingle/chills/goosebumps/shudder, it does not belong in this subreddit. Please consider /r/aww for happy submissions and /r/baww for sad submissions if they're not frisson-inducing.

Well, there weren't exactly cameras around before humans, so I can see why it might have been tough to find enough pictures to fill up more space. I'm also not sure that adding in a bunch more artist's renderings of volcanos/galaxies would be any better.

I just thought this was kind of corny and laughable. The super tired Inception music didn't make it any more bearable either. I kind of...like the idea presented here, but I think there's probably a more elegant way to do it. This just seemed really hamfisted and cornpone.

i agree, though that super tired Inception music is still awesome. i thought it was a bit strange to include video games and such alongside horrific holocaust images. i was also a bit taken back by the inclusion of the "future" portion, seemed a bit silly.

It pretty West-centric, and has the unfortunate implications that different contemporary cultures are somehow primitive. Also different incarnations of Link are given the roughly equivalent prominence as the history of slavery in America or the Great Depression.
